The heat and glare problem Sunscape Duralite 10 answers
Madico Sunscape Duralite 10 is for glass that lets in more sun, heat or glare than the room can use. Some glass faces open sky or water with no shade from morning to evening, and glare makes the room hard to use for screens or rest. Mid-tone films leave too much brightness. Owners in that position accept a very dark room to stop the glare.
How Sunscape Duralite 10 cuts heat and glare
Sunscape Duralite 10 cuts glare by 89% and reflects 12% of visible light on the room side, figures that Madico's product page and performance sheet share. UV rejection is 99% or more. Madico's sources list different visible light and solar energy figures for this grade, so this page leaves those out.
Where Sunscape Duralite 10 fits best
NorthGuard suggests Madico Sunscape Duralite 10 for jobs like these.
- Glass facing open sky or water with no shade.
- Media rooms, bedrooms and screen-heavy spaces that need 89% glare reduction.
- Rooms where daylight can drop a long way.
- Houses that want the darkest grade in Madico's earth-tone Duralite range.
What Sunscape Duralite 10 will not do
Madico Sunscape Duralite 10 has limits that NorthGuard states before any quote.
- Duralite 10 is the darkest Duralite grade, so rooms are very dark and lamps will be on in the daytime.
- Madico's sources disagree on its visible light and solar energy figures, so this page states none of them.
- Interior reflectance of 12% means a lit room shows some reflection in the glass at night.
